buRRp's 1991 V2500 Suburban Build

[buRRp]

I found the before and after fender heights...

BEFORE...
LF 36 7/8" RF 38 1/8"
LR 36" RR 37 1/2"

AFTER...
LF 45 1/2 RF 45 1/2
LR 45" RR 45"

So the stock springs were WAY shot. When we cut the U-bolts it didn't "pop open" like a strong spring would. And the shocks were shot to. Could push them in and out by hand very easily. No wonder I bounced down the road. Now the ride is a lot better. But its still a 3/4 ton solid axle truck.

Was there something wrong with your chain driven Tcase? Those things are pretty hard to tear up.

Just wanted to have a spare one in hand. Not sure how the one that's in it is. And I got this one for a steal. $75
